Since 2019, the alliance has reduced unmanaged plastic waste by 378,147 tonnes and valorized 418,529 tonnes. In 2025 alone, it further reduced 138,162 tonnes of unmanaged waste and valorized an additional 165,317 tonnes. The alliance has mobilized $641 million in funding commitments from third parties and impact investors since its inception. It also expanded national programs across five priority markets as well as thematic initiatives in Europe and North America. In 2025, it engaged with 559 organizations to support project development and implementation. The report emphasizes a shift toward larger-scale integrated programs aimed at systemic change rather than smaller autonomous projects.
